1. Beach balls. Hands down BEST toys we've ever taken on a plane. We took two and and used them A LOT at the stop overs in Hong Kong airport. We had so many random kids join in or look longing at our family playing with them. Great for all ages 2 to 42!
2. Things in a bottle. First version was paper beads made from junk mail in a bottle. This was definitely the favourite for our 13 month old. Second version was pipe cleaners in a spice bottle, which was more interesting for my 3 year old.
3. Letter writing. This is my 3 year old's favourite busy bag, plane or no plane. We made a bunch of tiny envelopes and packed them in a zip lock bag with some pens, stickers, little notebook and stamps. Hours of fun writing "letters" to all his favourite people. (note: Christmas cards can be a good source of little envelopes)

4. Small bag of figurines. We used old trashies that the kids had mostly grown out of. They acted out all sorts of adventures in the plane seat.
5. Fishing game. Made with soy sauce fish with an old screw glued in the neck and a magnet.
6. Buttons and a toy ute (pick up truck) and digger. A little bag with a collection of old buttons, and matchbox size cars was a big hit. We include a pair of eyebrow tweezers for non-airport travel, making it great for fine motor control play!
7. Small box with loom bands and hook and different coloured box sections. Sort the loom bands by colour. Even better if you can find someone to take turns with!
8. Threading. Pipe cleaners and melty beads in different colours. Match the beads to the pip cleaners.
9. Books. Any little book that your child might like. We particularly like tiny Pixi books and Thomas and Friends.
10. Apps! Our favourites include Mini Sago, Dr Panda and Lego Duplo apps.
